Apple In Talks To Launch Spotify Rival, Android App As Download Sales Decline

To listen to music without having to buy everything, there are solutions such as streaming music Spotify available here on the App Store 

In 2013, sales of music on the iTunes Store had a difficult year, particularly in the United States, with declines of around 11% for albums and 11% for pieces while services such as Spotify continue to see their number of subscribers increase.

On this basis and according to indiscretions, Apple is in talks to launch its own music streaming service Spotify competitor Deezer or already well established in the iPhone and iPad and growing steadily.

Sales of digital music. To cope with this fall, Apple already offers a music streaming service via iTunes Radio 

By cons, this method does not allow for track selection since it takes the form of radio. However, in order to launch a bid yet enriched, 

we will have that Apple is negotiating again with the majors to agree on the conditions and especially prices . Apple has an extensive music library and we imagine that the majors will bitterly discuss the conditions for such unlimited listening. The negotiations would only start and we know that the road is long and fraught with pitfalls as already shown iTunes Radio in recent months.

Finally, and this is a new more amazing if confirmed, Apple would also consider offering his shop on the competing platform Android , despite attempts between the two actors.

Android dominating the smartphone market, one can easily imagine that this extension surely displease the labels and the impact on sales from the iTunes Store are not negligible, far from it. But to what Apple is developing its first application for Android, there is a step that we clearly not cross it, the past has shown us that Apple carefully preserved its technology platform for its home

LG's new smart lamp connects to iOS and Android

The LG Smart Bulb announced on Monday (24) South Korea, smart bulbs that connect to Android and iOS devices and bring curious functions.
The LED lamp 10W allows the user to control the illumination of the house with your smartphone and connect to devices via Bluetooth or WiFi Also, every time you receive a call, the lights will flash.

The sale of used iPhones rose by 48% before the announcement of the Galaxy S5

Users of iPhone  really hoping for big news on the new Samsung Galaxy S5 . The volume of  sale and exchange of models of the iPhone rose on average 48% in SellCell.com site, the weekend before the release, and was not only there, forums and websites Brazilians also had a large increase in listings.

Read previous article samsung galaxy s5 depth review

Apparently the majority of iPhone owners not only abroad, but here in Brazil, are already trying to sell or trade their devices, and maybe the reason is the same ad the Galaxy S5. In the list of the 20 most popular mobile site SellCell.com, 18 are models of iPhones.

The price of iPhone 5 dropped to $ 275 dollars at the beginning of February - six months ago, the same model cost $ 337 . The iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 had their prices reduced further, the 4S from $ 171 to $ 115 and 4 had its price reduced from $ 188 to $ 103 dollars.

To get an idea of ​​the effect that, in Brazil, on the site MercadoLivre.com - one of the most famous sites of purchase, sale and exchange of the country - today only 579 were made announcements iPhones, mostly used.

There are several factors that motivate users to do the negotiations before the launch, and the first one is the devaluation . The smartphone market is becoming more demanding , and both the consumers as the manufacturers tend to stipulate a certain period so that each model is sold for a "fair" price for both sides - which does not always happen.

iPhone, iPad or Mac frequencies renewals very different depending on the product

We know well in this race before: technology evolves quickly and terminal can be found in past few years by ever faster models, thinner, taller, ... everything!

So the question arises? How long the iPhone, iPad or Mac do they keep their machine?

If the device is stolen or broken, how long would they before buying a replacement? One study tried to know the practices of users in the field. The findings show clear differences in terms of product range:

For the iPhone, and it's not really a surprise, the average length of renewal around 2 years, often a user with its operator commitment period in the U.S. or study was conducted . 

There is a safe bet that this period was undoubtedly valid there a few years France had to lie down since the arrival of non-binding operators (without subsidies). In addition, it is every two years that the iPhone is physically modified , giving an opportunity for those who change have a different terminal, whether version of "s" or not.

The Mac , he appears in the light of the study as having a turnover frequency much longer with four years on average .

Finally, the iPad is between the two, closer elsewhere cycle Mac than the iPhone. When to change iPhone, more than a third of older models are sold or exchanged . Conversely, older models (several generations behind) are often kept by their owner probably at the bottom of a drawer. While some recycle with family or friends, but to a much lesser extent than the much more likely to give a second life to their tablet with relatives iPad possessors

And if there was an unexpected and that the machine was stolen or broken? Well, iPhone owners would not take long because 80% of them put less than two days to find a replacement . Moreover, 37% said they would replace their iPhone immediately if something goes wrong .

At the iPad or Mac, lengthen the time a little to pass a week with a maximum of one month , even though 25% of iPad owners say they would replace it immediately in case of trouble unexpected.
And you? Changing your iPhone or iPad at what rate in normal times? and if something goes wrong?

The iPhone 6 may be called desired

The iPhone 6 talked about for quite a while, is likely to be another few months, more than a year in fact, if one believes the Macotakara site.

The latter would not be expected before 2014 and would be equipped at the time of a 4.5-inch screen. Certainly other innovations will arrive at the same time, but it will have to learn to wait. 

The year 2013 should see the arrival of iPhone cheap, low cost as they say, very reminiscent of an iPhone 5, but wearing a polycarbonate shell history of lower production costs and therefore the iPhone itself.

We do not even talk about the iPhone 5S , but a low cost iPhone.

The iPhone 5S should still see the day, respect the traditions of history, perhaps with iOS 7 but it ... it will be a surprise.

All these rumors do not really reassuring, besides Apple's stock, which had tended to rise, eventually continues to plummet, which should not really laugh small investors who had bet on Apple before the release of the iPhone 5.

By cons, that will leave some open space to other manufacturers like Sony's Xperia Z, LG and its new models and of course with Samsung Galaxy S4 future .

And finally, the release of the iPhone 6 could be coupled with a new Apple revolution, I mean of course the Apple shows .

iOS 4 specs

We know every one interested to get further iOS 4 specs, you have option to  to install the new version of the iPhone operating system I had for a long time, but decided not to drive horses to wait for the official firmware. 

On the user's iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, can now be updated the second and third generation iPod Touch. If you have not done it in my day the evening on June 21, I recommend Open iTunes now. However, to fully see all the changes on your phone will only owners of the iPhone 3GS, but it runs multitasking. IOS 4 specs will be considered with it. I want to say that the experience of using the device seriously changed for the better. However, there is also some roughness.

In this article I will try to tell all the important changes with come with iOS 4 that something might remain behind the scenes.

iOS 4 specs | Multi Tasking

Let's start with multitasking, after all, is one of the most significant innovations. This ios 4 multitasking event does not like the new iPhone jokes, less than three years. All of these things can be, and someone will look ridiculous. But Apple has created a very interesting interface, whatever side you look. Applications can run in the background and a list of applications that need to double click the home. Below the screen there is a line of icons, you can scroll left or right, closer - click the icon to display symbols. I opened the program moved to the other side - apparently the number of symbols no limits.

In addition, in "Genesis" background mode buttons firmly fixed Strip Full player displays the track beneath them, left - beyond the lock button in the vertical direction, is responsible for the iPad hardware switch. Mini player came here for a reason, read it before you had to click twice 

At that moment, Skype casually in the background loses the connection, that is, when you "deploy", you are connected. Need to update the program specifically for iOS 4. For example, yesterday after upgrading to Internet radio box not run in the background, you would have to run again to play music. A little later, around 23:00 on June 21, was an update to solve this problem. Naturally, software manufacturers have to hurry, ICQ and Skype waiting. As for other programs, there is not going smoothly. For example, I always use "SDA 2010." When translated into the background program does not remember the location. Or Twit terrific - as long as he does not know the background to update their record.

So while multitasking - it's a beautiful thing to collect in one place the most frequently used programs. Animation, incidentally, has a small gap. And the iPhone 3GS. I want to believe that the iPhone 4 will be any speed, smoothly, and all programs will soon be updates for such work under iOS4. I think it will be a week in the App Store application further with the addition next to the name (which means compatibility with iOS 4). 

 iOS 4 specs | Mail

its nice see as a mailboxes in one big list.  Every member under even lower bills we are known for the unknown appropriate labels - simple." Dog "Interestingly, when the letters arrive for comments on LJ, then see the number of posts, As I understand it, they belong to the same message, but not all, and while reading, and sometimes there is confusion when seemingly dependent on one email Unread list is not read, you must have a list of posts one discussion. In general, to count the messages in a conversation to get used to.

In addition, the plan was to optimize and speed EDGE or Wi-Fi connection-mail arrives faster (and letters are opened too quickly).

iOS 4 specs|Wallpaper

Now you can set the wallpaper on your desktop, in addition to wallpaper, new team. All pastel colors, very cute and cozy. IPhone looks cool with the wallpaper. You can set the lock screen one image and one - as the background.

iOS 4 specs |Folders

We take the program icon, hold down and moved to another symbol, there is a folder itself. You can use the offered titles such as "Adventure" or "Office", you can name the folder itself. I took the three screens update place only after the great purification units. Now there are two, one half-empty all the folders, just the right way is to open quickly. I loved the animation folders, all in the style of Apple, accurate and to the point. Of course, you are free at any time to pull the icon from the directory where you want from little annoying, but pulling the labels. When you try to put each other, they begin to diverge but, this little thing.

Overall system is available for download up to 2160 applications now. I think there is almost ready to try.

iOS 4 specs | IPod Photo

Slightly changed the look of the player, while viewing the album - like the iPad. Top cover, the title, the song list below. Now you can create playlists directly on the device without iTunes.

It seems to me that the camera was taking off faster, but the program is operating longer. Was five times digital zoom, his feeling small. When shooting video, you can find the focus point.

Support for Bluetooth-keyboard, spell checker

Checked with Apple's wireless keyboard, the device it finds connected, and you can type in the text shows. Although SMS, though in Twitterrific.

On the basis of the statement, the spelling checker works in the mail, «Notes" and other applications. Works strange when you try to write "Hello ER and MR!" (Ie, "all") not to swear, not stress. Tried to write the sentence "I love Pohang Papo T. Charles. "- it all wrong pressures we assume that there are some quirks, but overall the test is working and does not allow the user to forget.

iBooks

In my time on June 21 evening, after the advent of iOS 4, available for download in the AppStore appeared, iBooks for the iPhone. With it you can enjoy the company store iBookstore or books download format. EPUB itself. Looks great, bookshelf, it is easy to add to your book cover. The imitation turning the iPhone 3GS does not work very smoothly, brakes. When you turn the device does not appear in two columns, like the iPad - continuing to read a book in landscape orientation. Transition from horizontal to a vertical position is not immediate, then brakes. The application can change the backlight level, and font size, enable "Sepia" (the effect of an old book.) Has a Search tab.

The plan is good, if tapnut by the book, all the elements are hidden from view, and before you could only text. Well, strap top with charging indicator, the name of the operator and so on. It's like, as long as it is "read only", the storage mode in the background.

Running Time

Refresh, I fully charged the unit and in the morning I went to town. After ten hours. This time - an hour of talking on the phone all the time at Wi-Fi, an hour of music, all that training SDA, browser, e-testing and so on. Now Battery - 51 percent. Instructed to use the device to the autumn of 2009 Anyway, I made sixty pieces of screen, before looking at the charge remaining.

For me, the new OS has to eat more, this level of intuition. Not much, but more.

In this story the most important completed. Just in case, I decided to give a full list of changes to be aware of what can be now your iPhone. Some of the items include my comments.

iOS 4 specs | Bug fixes 

There IOS version for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch size of about 300 MB for iPhone 3GS - 370 MB. Installation is quick enough, but get ready for half an hour to forget the phone.

Now some bugs. I've been told that braking with the animation. And as long as there is no way to verify normal multitasking - do it, because in the "background" applications worked Skype and other Internet radio. Although use of inhibitions day, or did not have a hitch. But!

IPod for some reason can not see the filter's songs "Song." Likely to demolish the library and upload again. Some works generally like evaporated.

As for the rest, we must pay employees of the company and Mr. Jobs was granted. Again - lick iPhone OS occurs regularly and with success. This process is dynamic looks as it should look - added new features, bug fixes (adding new and re-install). Currently, the mobile operating system of Apple is the most advanced consumer market only.
